To @ZZ wiz/om, t may concern: y

The combination, inY a harness, of the bridle having the block E on the horses face, the line having one end attached to the saddle or the other portion of the harness passed over the horses head and through the block E,and then passed back over the horses head and attached to the reins, substantially as described.
